Sacrifice | ذبيحة

In co-operation with Markaz Quba, we shall be processing all ‘Aqeeqah, ‘Eed Qurbani and Feed the Poor sacrifice requests in Nepal.

Markaz Quba is home to hundreds of orphaned, poor and needy students of knowledge – which increases the benefit to be gained by having your ‘Aqeeqah, ‘Eed Qurbani or Feed the Poor sacrifices carried out there, in shaa.-Allaah.

The ‘aqeeqah is a confirmed Sunnah, and there is no sin on the one who does not do it. That is because the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

«Whoever has a child born to him and wants to offer the sacrifice, let him do so; for a boy two similar sheep and for a girl one sheep»

The Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:«Whoever can afford it but does not offer a sacrifice, let him not come near our place of prayer»

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked: What is the correct opinion regarding the sacrifice [of ‘Eed al-Adh.haa]?

The Shaykh responded: That which is apparent to me is the sacrifice is not obligatory. However, it is a highly recommended Sunnah, and is [therefore] disliked for one who is able [to offer it] to abstain from doing so.

Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan was asked: Is it permissible to pay the price of [having] the [udh.hiyah] sacrifice [carried out], or is it better to [personally] undertake the [udh.hiyah] sacrifice and take some of [the meat]?

The Shaykh responded: It is better to sacrifice the udh.hiyah at home in the presence of his family, [locally] in his country – that is better, and if it is slaughtered [abroad on his behalf] here, then there is no harm [in doing so].
